She was the most powerful creation ever invented. Designed by a brilliant mind, using otherworldly technology, bred for military use, the Steel Angel's intent was as revolutionary as it was mysterious. But when a young boy accidentally awakens the Steel Angel Kurumi, he becomes her Master and science and strategy are thrown a curve. Now this multi-million dollar soldier is taking orders from a boy - and other forces are not happy about it. So Kurumi and her young master must seek out a secret lab and discover dangerous answers. Namely, why was Kurumi created in the first place? What is her true purpose? And why is a mysterious organization activating other beautiful, seductive, and powerful Steel Angels to destroy her? Steel Angel Kurumi features breathtaking animation from acclaimed studio O.L.M. - famous for their work on the Pokemon franchise - along with an English dub starring some of the hottest actresses in anime: Kelli Cousins (Princess Nine), Monica Rial (Gasaraki), Hilary Haag (Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040), and Kira Vincent-Davis (Martian Successor Nadesico), with a special appearance by one of the most popular actresses in live action sci-fi, Claudia Black (Farscape, Pitch Black).
This cheerfully inane jiggle series is set in 1920s Japan. Forced by bullies to explore an eerie mansion, adolescent Nakahito inadvertently awakens the cyborg or "Steel Angel" created by Dr. Ayankoji. A long-haired babe in a French maid's outfit, Kurumi proclaims Nakahito her "master" and will accept orders only from him. But Kurumi is also an extraordinarily powerful robot sought by the military. The mismatched Nakahito and Kurumi, and Dr. Ayankoji and Nakahito's older brother Kamihito, find themselves drawn into a baroque plot involving a lecherous army general, various spies, and a second Steel Angel named "Saki." Steel Angel Kurumi often plays like Urusei Yatsura, but without Rumiko Takahashi's wit. As the episodes are only 15 minutes long, the DVD is fleshed out with copious notes, production sketches, and interviews. Unrated; suitable for ages 16 and up: Nudity, minor profanity, violence, risquรฉ humor. --Charles Solomon
